hi all,

i am new in programming in OpenCv.

i am not able to do cvCvtcolor command for the sequential images which is captured by cameraCapture command. please do needful.

Thank you in advanced..

my code is here...(I don't get compilation error.. but not get output images..)

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

int c=1;
IplImage* img=0;
char buffer[2000];
CvCapture* cv_cap=cvCaptureFromCAM(1);
cvNamedWindow("Video",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
while(1) {
     img=cvQueryFrame(cv_cap);
  cvShowImage("Video",img);
  cvCvtColor(img,img,CV_RGB2GRAY);

  sprintf(buffer,"D:/1/ImageName%u.jpg",c);

  cvSaveImage(buffer,img);

  c++;
      if (cvWaitKey(100)== 27) break;
}

cvDestroyWindow("Video");
return 0;

%u is for unsigned ints, your int is signed -> use %i or %d. As berak said, check that your folder even exists. And another thing that has been said again and again: Use the C++ interface!! There are so many things you can do wrong with the old interface which won't happen in the C++ interface.

here you can bypass the code line " cvCvtColor(img,img,CV_RGB2GRAY); " from the code then it work OK. but as an change in the image every time get error at the time when execute.

Just take a look at the description of cvQueryFrame. It clearly says that you mustn't modify the image! If you want to modify it, create a copy using cvCloneImage first.

image created from cameraCapture - which form is that..? is it in RGB, HSV or other..? i use simple webcam which is of Laptop.

It seems there is no way to detect colorspace, but you should be safe to assume that it's an RGB image from a camera. To detect if your image is grayscale or rgb, you can look at the channels method. If it's one, its grayscale. If it's three, it's most likely rgb (could also be grayscale with the same value in every channel, but let's ignore that).
